“He’s changed his body,” Fisher stated. “He has much, much more strength, quickness inside and his feet are underneath him.”

- Unfortunately for second overall pick Greg Robinson, he’s often been assigned the difficult task of stopping Robert Quinn in practice.

“He’s learned that Quinn is a really good rusher,” Fisher said. “I think he knew that before he got here, but it’s different in person. He’s moving back and forth. He’s getting some guard work and some tackle work.”

- Laurinaitis claims this year’s roster is the team’s best since his arrival in 2009, but still has plenty to prove.

“We have a great squad in our locker room,” Laurinaitis said. “Right now on paper, it’s the most talented roster we’ve had, but that’s all it is right now: paper.”

- Like Robert Quinn, Laurinaitis expressed excitement around his figurine giveaway on December 21 against the New York Giants.

“It’s not as cool as Robert’s, I’m assuming,” Laurinaitis joked. “I can’t do the Bernie. A lot of things would tear on my action figure if I tired to do the Bernie.”

That’s it for today, but join us at Rams Park for another open practice tomorrow at 5:30 p.m.
